Woodford Reserve Master's Collection “New Cask” 46.2%
Price: ● Issue: Spring 2012 ● Reviewer: John Hansell ● Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey
A set of two 100% rye whiskeys, triple distilled in copper pot stills, with the difference between them being the type of barrels in which they were aged. One was matured in a new charred cask, while the other one was aged in a used cask. They are packaged in half-bottle sizes (375 ml) and sold as a set for $100.
Dark in color and deep on the palate. Plenty of weight, too. A base of caramel, with warming cinnamon, persistent mint, brandy-soaked apple, tobacco, polished leather, and oak grip on the finish.
